A court here today ordered to seize the property of fugitive accused Mahin Uddin in a case over the lynching of Taslima Begum Renu in the city’s North Badda area over child-lifting rumour in 2019.
Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid passed the order after a hearing.
The court also fixed February 1 for submitting the report in this regard.
Taslima Begum Renu, 40, a single parent of two, was brutally beaten to death by a mob that suspected her to be a child lifter, in front of North Badda Government Primary School in the morning on July 20 in 2019.
It was later learned that Renu went there to gather information about admission of her daughter Tahsin Tuba, 4, at that school.
Later, her nephew Nasir Uddin filed the case with Badda Police Station against 400-500 unidentified people.
On September 10, Inspector Abdul Haque, the investigating officer (IO) in the case, filed a charge sheet against 15 people in the Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court.
Ibrahim alias Ridoy Mollah, Ria Begum Mayna, Abul Kalam Azad, Kamal Hossain, Md Shahin, Bachchu Miah, Md Bappi, Murad Mia, Sohel Rana, Asadul Islam, Bellal Mollah, Md Razu and Mahin Uddin were accused in the charge-sheet.
Of them, Mahin Uddin is fugitive and the IO pleaded for a warrant against Mahin to arrest him.
On December 2, Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Mamunur Rashid accepted the charge sheet.
At the same time, an arrest warrant against Mahin was issued as he was absconding.
